Kurt Elling Quartet Featuring Danilo Perez
Cullen Theater
at Wortham Theater Center

Friday 5/10/2024 8:00 PM

Step into the enchanting world of jazz as DACAMERA presents an unforgettable evening with the Kurt Elling Quartet featuring Danilo Pérez at Cullen Theater, Wortham Theater Center on Friday, May 10, 2024, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Grammy-winning jazz maestro Kurt Elling is renowned for his unparalleled blend of robust swing and profound poetic insight, earning him a well-deserved place among the elite jazz vocalists worldwide. His latest endeavor, the "Secrets Are the Best Stories" project, sees him collaborating with the masterful pianist Danilo Pérez to create a musical experience like no other.

Elling has recorded and toured with Branford Marsalis, Danilo Perez, Stefon Harris, Fred Hersch, James Morrison, and Charlie Hunter. He has performed extensively with larger ensembles like The Clayton/Hamilton Orchestra, The National Youth Orchestra (led by Sean Jones), The Bob Mintzer Big Band, The BBC Concert Symphony (led by Guy Barker) The Metropole Orchestra (Holland), The Irish Radio and Television Orchestra (led by Brian Byrne), The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, and The WDR Orchestra and Big Band (Germany).

Kurt Elling
Who Is It?


The Wall Street Journal said, “Elling combines authenticity with stunning originality.” The Washington Post declared that, “since the mid-1990s, no singer in jazz has been as daring, dynamic or interesting as Kurt Elling.”

Elling’s dynamism is enhanced exponentially by the fact that he consistently generates new vocal material by writing and recording signature and definitive lyrics to the compositions of foundational jazz composers like John Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Zawinul. Additionally, Kurt Elling has co-created multi-disciplinary performances for Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater and The City of Chicago. Jazz At Lincoln Center saw the world premier of The Big Blind, an entirely new jazz musical-in-progress Elling is co-writing with collaborator Phil Galdston (“Save The Best For Last”). National Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky declared that, “In Kurt Elling’s art, the voice of jazz gives new spiritual presence to the ancient, sweet and powerful bond between poetry and music.”

Elling has toured the world in a variety of contexts, including UNESCO-sponsored “International Jazz Day” performances in Havana, Cuba, in St. Petersburg, Russia, in Melbourne, Australia and in Washington DC. He has twice performed at the White House, including a performance in collaboration with the late Marvin Hamlisch and the National Symphony Orchestra for President Obama’s first State Dinner. He has served as Artist-In-Residence at the Monterey and Singapore Jazz Festivals. As a music industry leader, Elling spent six years serving as a Trustee and two years as Vice Chairman of The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

In this captivating performance, Elling breathes new life into timeless compositions by legends such as Pérez's iconic collaborator Wayne Shorter, the late fusion bass genius Jaco Pastorius, and the visionary composer/arranger Vince Mendoza. What sets this project apart is Elling's addition of evocative new lyrics, weaving a narrative tapestry that resonates with depth and emotion.

Joining forces with Pérez, whose own catalog of music is a testament to his virtuosity and creativity, Elling brings a fresh perspective to these iconic pieces.
